Warrington Writers' Group
Warrington is a thriving town with LOTS of undiscovered writing talent. We're hoping to bring all this talent together once a month to enjoy each other's creations, talk about all things linked to writing (and reading) and hopefully have some fun in the process.
The group came about as a spin-off from Warrington Collegiates "creative writing" course - we want to expand the group and invite any other aspiring writers to join us - everyone's welcome.
We'll be meeting on the second Wednesday of each month in the snug at the Bull's Head, Church Street at 8pm.
The idea for the evenings is for people to bring along a piece of writing (just a couple of pages) to read out to the group. We'll then all review the work - in a kind and constructive way - and then move on to the next victim (errr I mean contributor!)
Please come along and join us - you don't HAVE to bring anything along if you'd prefer to just come and enjoy the company.
We're also thinking of running some kind of online monthly challenge - mebbe even with a prize - but the details on this idea is a bit sketchy!
It's FREE to come along, tho we may make a minimal collection to put together the monthly prize. We'll see what people think about that idea at our first meeting.

GIVE BLOOD....
As less than 5% of the public give blood, have you ever considered becoming a donor yourself? Blood isn't just used during surgery: some long-term illnesses require transfusions and things like burns also need blood.
So by donating blood, you could save somebody's life today. If you would like to know more, or to find your nearest venue, just go to www.blood.co.uk
